If I'm not outside looking at plants I want to be teaching about them, writing about them, or playing with them in my kitchen
For #thicktrunktuesday here's a Sequoiadendron from a 3-day stop in Kings Canyon National Park on my way home from #Botany2025. Trunk is thick all the way up. Hiking and life companion at the base for scale.

That's extreme! I have noticed that AI is terrible at making realistic plants. Leaves, branches, & fruits stick out randomly. Plant structure is so rule-based it should be easy for a machine. But AI makes mistakes like human illustrators for a lot of product packaging.
